Payment Dates and Retroactive Pay

Eligible employees’ salaries will be updated in HRMS retroactive to July 1, 2015 (or later for those who were hired after July 1, 2015). Staff will notice the increase on their December 15, 2015 paycheque.

Eligible employees will receive retro payment for the period of July 1, 2015, to November 30, 2015 (or applicable period), on their December 15, 2015, paycheque.

Eligible employees who are no longer in their role will receive retro pay for the period that they were in the eligible position.

We anticipate that government funding will be available for ongoing increases, but not for retro payments. The Budget Office will provide additional information as it becomes available.
